Esteemed Delegates, Fellow Directors, Honourable Chairs, and Guests;

We are delighted to welcome you to the Halcyon London International School Model United Nations Conference. I am Secretary General Pedro Pina Albuquerque and am supported by my incredible Board of Directors team. I got into debating due to my love of politics and due to the Halcyon Model United Nations program. I started Model United Nations when I joined Halcyon London International School in Grade 7 in 2021. My passion for the United Nations stems from an interest in politics, and the world around me and a hope to make it a better place for the future. 

The HLISMUN 2025 Conference focuses on the theme of Conflict resolution and Peace Building is incredibly important at this time in whichever way you look at it. The ideas of collaboration, conversation and multilateralism have never been more important than they are today. Our conference hopes to provide students with a platform to use and grow their knowledge through debate on some of the most pressing issues of the world today. The HLISMUN conference ties with Halcyon London International School’s values and allows everyone to have an equal opportunity to find a passion for knowledge, to debate and to experience new people and perspectives. 

We look forward to welcoming you to the Halcyon London International School; Model United Nations Conference and we hope that all of the students at this year’s conference will acquire something new and unique from our conference.

Warmly,
